Not a Robot

Best wishes with your future. I wasn't kidding, if you need to tell your parents after you're on your own, maybe do it with a doctor, so if they have a heart attack, they will be in a hospital. Just make sure the doctor is on board, so they can educate your parents. Sometimes hearing that you're normal from an authority figure like a doctor, will help homophobic people begin to let go of their homophobia.

Since I'm oooooold, I read a book by a Japanese-American couple, Jane and Al Nakatani called, "Honor Thy Children." They were a homophobic couple who had 3 sons, 2 were gay and died of AIDS, the other was shot after a traffic altercation. The Nakatanis became speakers against homophobia. This is my long-winded way of saying, people can change, but even if your parents do not, there are others out here willing to listen, so please love yourself, just the way you are.

If you are still financially dependent on your parents, maybe focus on studies, get a decent job, and move out on your own. You will then be able to approach the safest person in your family to come out to. When you are not afraid of being kicked out, you will feel more secure about being open about your sexuality.

Also, some of the most devoted Christians I know are gay. I'm not a Christian, so I may be wrong, but while there are biblical references, I do not remember Jesus going on and on about it, nor did I read references in the gospels. I saw more references under the old testament, rather than the new covenant under Jesus. This is between you and God though. Jesus did speak about hypocrisy and scolded people for it many times, and I guarantee some of the people judging gay people are adulterers, liars, cheaters, etc. They do not have the right to judge you, just like you do not judge them. Maybe when your parents bring up "gays are going to hell" you can counter them with a scripture of God loving everyone, not judging, etc. Jesus did say a lot of great things. Adulterers are going to hell too under their assumption.

If you think your parents will have a heart attack, then you may want to consult their doctors. Yes, there may be a possibility that could happen, but that should not stop you from loving who you want to love. Sometimes this happens from anxiety, not an actual heart attack, but either way, that is emotional blackmail and just wrong. Most parents want their children to be happy, and will not use their health to get their way. I'm Asian so I understand this is a huge hurdle, but you cannot live under their command for the rest of your life.

You sound like a kind and compassionate person and the world needs more people like you. I know that you love your parents, but if they love you unconditionally, at a certain point, then have to love you for who you are.

I experienced this in my youth a few times. The friend has always been in the friend zone, but they let their feelings get involved. My problem was, I didn't read the signs, and was blindsided. I've never been a hottie, so it would be a total shock. The positive was, they moved on and found great people. I think that most of it was proximity rather than real love.

This is turning into the BL version of A Walk to Remember, but without Mandy Moore's singing.

Juvenile ALS is very rare. I'm worried about this series turning into a soap opera. The actors are cute and I'm still waiting for Nikko's answer. Please do not turn into a melodramatic soap opera.

Since Korean BL is usually the worst for me, I was skeptical, but ended up liking this series. My main complaint is how uncomfortable the actors are with intimacy (normal for Korean BL), but at least the story was interesting. Each character ended up finding their happiness.

Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks for the catch!

Thoop's sister being systematically raped, his mother doing nothing to protect her, resulting in a pregnancy and suicide, made him go off track to numb his pain. After being betrayed by his mother, step-father and losing his sister, Thoop tried to cope by going on self-destructive mode. Cher took the blame on, just like he took the blame for Ink in the office, because Cher believes he will solve the problems, instead of helping others work out a better solution. I'm not excusing Thoop's bad behavior, but I'm trying to see him from Cher's point of view.

I thought that Cher and Gun handled their conflict well, and that neither were too stubborn to admit they love each other. They are a very sweet couple.

I figured the said person was the person who got Tian pregnant. Not shocked that the mother covered. It's realistic in some cases.

Glad that Cher and Boss talked things over, and Ink made things right.

They should have just made this an independent series, not a sequel to My Day. I can't tell if the whole story is in Thailand, or if they go back and forth between Thailand and the Philippines. I know that some of the behaviors, such as salon staff wearing full hazmat suits is not happening in the Thailand, because I was just there. I normally like the over the top fake luxuriousness of Oxin Film productions, but I'm having trouble adjusting to Miko without Aki.

With the exception of the school nerd who is underage, having neck and hand tats, I find this a very cute and enjoyable series.

I thought that was useless too. The manga has many flashbacks, but it's new information, not the same scenes over and over.

It happens in the US too. Some people get married very quickly, or one set of parents live in a different state from their children and they do not meet until the wedding. I know people who do not really know their step or half siblings very well because they don't live in the same state. I think in many cultures, the children are not "consulted" before a remarriage, that's why there is so much drama in step/half family relationships.

In the manga, the ex-girlfriend makes a brief appearance and talks to Minoru about his dropping out of university to help with Tane after their mom dies. Tane is there and he spills a drink, which upsets the girlfriend who complains that they can never talk with Tane around. Not long after (before the onigiri encounter), Tane has a tantrum and Yutaka gives Tane encouragement, and that's when Minoru starts to like Yutaka.

I kept wondering why they were playing pre-school sounding songs.

I misread your question and thought you were talking about KP not being an adult series. Sorry about that.

Yes, this show depicts adult office dynamics in an exaggerated way. Except for making the new person run personal errands and the overt bullying, I've seen all of the behaviors in this series at work. The boss/employee romance has not been shown as of today, and I've always worked in places where that would not be allowed. Sending a hateful comment about someone, accidentally to said person happened in one of my work places. The other person just ignored it, but my co-worker felt terrible about it. That's how adults who work in office settings can related.

Since you brought up KP flashing Apo's butt briefly, I am stating that the viewer doesn't need to see a bare ass to know the characters under the covers are naked. Yes, the sex scenes are tame, but when you're a kid, they are pretty wild. In some shows, the lips get pretty close to nipples, and heads go below the waist. If I were a teen in puberty, I would be more embarrassed but others swoon. Even on YT people put certain BL kisses on loop and post them.

I haven't heard him speak English yet. Maybe in an upcoming episode. I don't watch BTS while a series is airing, so I haven't seen anything else he has been in. Thanks for the info.

I thought minors were the majority. Porn is so easily accessed now compared to in my youth, so adults can see the real thing, rather than needing to see it in a series format. You make a great point about extended puberty mindset.

Since I'm not a kid, no I do not think KP portrays adult relationships. From the comments I see on MDL BL boards, viewers seem to want/like tongue kissing, bare chests and simulated sex. You don't need to see a bare azz to infer that the characters are naked.

The ratings drop because we aren't bawling our eyes out or watching nekkid play. I think MDL is mostly people still in puberty. They don't understand adult relationships and work life yet. Not trying to be condescending, just going by the comments posted. Get ready to call the waaaaaambulance.
